iPhone 5 cracked screen need help

Ya sorry about the duplicate post didn't see it at the time then right after I noticed it. The pone that's broke is a friends and I recommended going to apple which is about 45 minutes way. Just from hearing of others who have had good luck going there $229 is still better than any other options. I live in NE btw if that matters...I know someone asked.

The problem in cost for cell phone repair shops. The cheapest I could find the iPhone 5 digitizer was for $149, but this is always the case for new phones regardless of manufacturer. They now they have you by your jewels unless your going to get a new phone "out of contract." I have already repaired a few of these, and nobody is ever happy with the price but I'm also below $250 for the replacement. Let me know if I can help, but Apple sounds like the way to go!

Re: iPhone 5 cracked screen need help

The parts pool for the iPhone 5 is very shallow right now...and parts are running a premium, even with bulk orders. I have a buddy here in Atlanta that does iPhone repairs on the side to pay for bills, and he said he's having a tough time giving people a good deal because cheap parts are few and far between. Right now, if i were you and you need a screen replaced, I'd go to Apple and pony up the $229...you don't have to wait for anything because they just give you a replacement phone and send yours off to be refurbished for someone else. Makes more sense than paying a 3rd party premium money right now...screen replacement away from Apple should never exceed $150 in my opinion, but it will probably be a while before we see those low prices from the private shops because the parts just arn't out there for them to make a profit yet (in large quantity that is).

Cheapest route is go to apple like everyone has said and then invest in an $80 Lifeproof case lol
